Devendra Banhart Tours Crazy Hippie Places!
Rejoice, Copenhagen! Devendra Banhart is coming! According to Young God Records' official website, the neo-hippie and former "homeless guy" will be setting off on a month-long tour of Europe beginning on October 1st. Banhart, who was touring Europe as recently as this past May, will wow audiences with his acoustic finger-pickin' in mainly theatre and club venues, riding the wave of his highly acclaimed 2004 release Rejoicing in the Hands, as well as supporting his forthcoming second full-length this year, Nino Rojo due out September 13th.
Accompanying Banhart on these European performances will be a selection of likeminded experimental artists
collectively known as the Queens of Sheba Rhythm Section. This pack of vagabond musicians consists of Kyle
Field of Little Wings on guitar, Adam Forkner of Yume Bitsu and Surface of Eceyon on bass and guitar, and
